B.E.C. "Battleye Extended Controls" - Admin Tool

[nuxil 2]

and is your server using that battleye path then? no it does not!

please check where -profiles or -bepath is pointing too.

yes i know. you have not spesified the config files also you failed to do what was adviced in the readme file.

read the online documentation http://ibattle.org/install-and-configure

if you must. read it 2-3 times.

here is a screenshow of firedaemon

But I have specified the config files. If you actually read my post you would see that I already have done that and have everything setup correctly on FireDaemon's side.

[nuxil 2]

if you see this.

...

...

Usage: Bec [options]

Options:

-h, --help show this help message and exit

-f FILENAME, --file=FILENAME

its usualy because one of two reason.

1. you didnt spesify the -f argument

2. you have misstyped the filename. Ie. -f server.cf instead of -f server.cfg

Yes, that is the message I am seeing. That message comes up in command prompt and it then closes about 5 seconds after appearing. This then loops infinitely.

This is how my FireDaemon is setup for BEC.

This is my config folder inside the BEC folder.

As you can see I have specified the -f argument with correct filenames. Anything I might be missing?

[nuxil 2]

hmm that is verry strange.

it should work.

maybe you have double extension names on the files in the config dir ??

example its ConfigDayZ1.cfg.cfg intead of ConfigDayZ1.cfg same for all the other files.

else i have no idea. it should work.

what version of FD are you using??

did you try disable the console appication checkbox . altho it should not matter.

can you verify that it works in cmd.exe ??

Messed around some more with it and got it working correctly. Just doesn't connect to my servers correctly but that's not related to BEC and to something else entirely. Once I figure that out it should work fine.

[ryahn 1]

I am having an issue where it says it cannot connect to server. I have it running right in the directory where the server is and I have the program added to the firewall white list.

[nuxil 2]

You should not have bec located in the same dir as the server. use something like c:\ArmaTools\Bec\

Verify that you can login with BERcon to the server.

If this fails, it because you have not setted up BE properly on the server.

if you can login with BERcon. check the config settings for bec.

[larsiano 12]

Trying to make Bec autostart with ArmA2server.exe true a batch file does not want to work for me: with your suggestion i get no responce and if i use the method of the server.bat it will only load Bec after the server is shut down.:

start "" ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Bohemia Interactive\BEC\Bec.exe" -f 2302.cfg"

@echo off

echo Starting: c:\program,,,,,,,,,,,,

echo: c:\Program Files (x86)\bohemia interactive\bec\bec.exe

echo From: C:\program files (x86)\bohemia interactive\bec

echo With params: "-f 2309.cfg"

cd /D "c:\program files (x86)\bohemia interactive\bec"

"c:\program files (x86)\bohemia interactive\bec\Bec.exe" -f 2309.cfg"

What am i doing wrong here? Note that: with the shortcut /targetline method Bec works fine!

[nuxil 2]

Not sure what was wrong with my example bat file.

it should work.

@echo off

I havent been able to use BERcon for a couple of days now. After patching to 95208, all my rcon disappeared

[nuxil 2]

Well you need to sort out your Battleye problems before i can help you with Bec.

maybe you can try manually replace the Battleye dll files found on www.battleye.com

[ryahn 1]

Got it all sorted. I am still getting the same error with BEC. I also disabled the firewall and its not that.

In my Config.cfg I only have the connection info not commented out.

This tool is awesome! i have it configured and working great manually, however, i can not get it to work using scheduled task or as a service. when installed as a service, it errors out with an untimely response (in less than 10 seconds though). when i try to run it as a scheduled task, it kicks of the task and then closes out of BEC.

i am able to run the arma 2 server as a scheduled task, which is why i'm trying to run BEC as a scheduled task (as part of the same schedule). i can do scheduled restarts that way. does the BEC graphic that pops up when you first run the program need an interactive desktop?

or how do i configure BEC as a service if you have successfully configured it as a service? i'll just set it to auto restart if i can do it that way.

I just wanted to say thank you, great tool you have here. This is what separates servers from being overrun with cheaters.

There's two ways you can go about this.. The easiest way is give BEC a service, then set it to restart on exit. Eventually it'll log itself in without issue. The next way to do it is combine it in your startup, take a look at r4z0r49's files.

Hey folks just thot id finally jump in on a thread here as it seems no1 has come back to him.

Your LogDir is wrong mate, it shoudl just be the dir not the file as BEC creates the files with timestamps etc so just change it to

LogDir = c:\ServerTools\Bec\Log

and all your logs will be created in that folder.

[nuxil 2]

Sorry for late reply.

but as XmarksTheScot sais. your LogDir is wrong. it should not be a file, but instead it should be a name. a name thats related to the server. Ie. LogDir = Dayz_XXX

this will then create a dirctory in ..\Bec\Log\Dayz_XXX where all the logs related to that server is stored.

Keep in mind that. if the server is running multiple server. LogDir can not have the Same name in them. do not do it like

______________

conf1.cfg

...

LogDir = bec

______________

conf2.cfg

...

LogDir = bec

this will result in all servers to log to the same files. leading to problems and confusion.

but rather do it like

______________

conf1.cfg

...

LogDir = bec1

______________

conf2.cfg

...

LogDir = bec2

@ tynmanz you should also uncommint out #[bec] . it needs to be [bec], its a block section of the config

where being wrong?

[nuxil 2]

your path is wrong.

Recheck the path.

[WoODoO 10]

your path is wrong.

Recheck the path.

this path is exactly where the files

[nuxil 2]

ok..

i'll have a look at the function that checks the filepath.

meanwhile you can try and place the file elsewhere. example

C:\Bec\Bat\foobar.bat

What do I use in the Bepath if my server is hosted by a provider?

Same question... Need BEC, but can't install it on server where Arma2 server run.

We need Rcon for remote connection.
